Pat Boone Inducted Into The Southern Legends Association!

In the years immediately prior to the British Invasion, only one performer rivaled the chart dominance of Elvis Presley, and that was Pat Boone. With his trademark white buck shoes, perfectly combed hair and gleaming smile, Boone was the very essence of American values at a time when rock & roll was viewed as a sign of the apocalypse-Pat embraced rock & roll and added his own twist.

Charles Eugene Boone was born June 1st, 1934 in Jacksonville, Florida; a descendent of American frontier hero Daniel Boone, he attended high school in Nashville, and was voted student body president. After graduating he married Shirley Foley, the daughter of country star Red Foley. 2007 marks the anniversary of his 53rd year in show biz and the 54th wedding anniversary to his wife, Shirley.

Pat Boone continues to influence and inspire fans, industry newcomers and seasoned veterans alike. A best-selling author, successful entrepreneur, chart-topping recording star, family man and legendary humanitarian, Pat's contribution to the American culture and country's consciousness has reached legendary status.

The Southern Legends Association is proud to honor Pat Boone in it's roll-call.
